Services & Pricing
Guided by a passion for authenticity, Cris, an Alaska dog photographer, captures the true and unique spirit of dogs through dynamic action shots, natural lifestyle imagery, timeless portraits, and creative themed sessions.
Want something unique? Each experience is thoughtfully customized to reflect your vision — because no two dogs, and no two stories, are ever the same. With years of experience working closely with dogs, Cris is trusted to document the soul, connection, and quiet magic shared between you and your pet.
“I believe the most meaningful portraits reveal true emotion, unique character, and the quiet, unbreakable bond between you and your dog — a heartfelt reflection of your fur family and all that you hold dear as you walk this journey together.” – Cris Skinner
SESSION BASICS
Sessions are primarily held outdoors, set within Alaska’s vast and beautiful landscapes — open spaces, natural light, and scenery that feels true to the wild spirit of this place.
Studio sessions are available upon request for those who prefer a more intimate, controlled setting, with a thoughtfully designed space and a variety of backdrops and creative options.
**To my fellow veterans and military members — thank you for your service. Please ask about military pricing when booking.

It’s also ideal for breeders who wish to photograph a litter from birth to the day they leave for their forever homes. Customized add-ons are available.
Each session is thoughtfully designed and includes:
- 15 Images (5 images from each mini session), beautifully edited high-resolution digital images for personal use with print release.
